Choose the correct statement below about outliers of the following data:
3, 4, 5, 10, 12, 18, 22, 29
There is at least one outlier toward the maximum/right-most end of the data.
b. There is at least one outlier toward the minimum/left-most end of the data.
c. There are no outliers.

Answer 1

@amistre64 please:)

Answer 2

Well, if you rearrange the data from least to greatest you get:

1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 14, 25

The differences are:

+2, +2, +1, +2, +2, +4, +11

That is to say, there is a +2 difference from 1 to 3, +2 from 3 to 5, etc...

Given that data, I'd say the +4 difference along with the huge +11 gap indicates that the first answer would be correct.

"There is at least one outlier toward the maximum/right-most end of the data. "

Answer 3

a.There is at least one outlier toward the maximum/right-most end of the data.
